.yachts is a top-level domain (TLD) that was successfully delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) on May 22, 2014. The registry operator for this gTLD is Dominion Enterprises (DERYachts, LLC), which applied for it through ICANN's New gTLD Program. This domain caters to the lifestyle sector and specifically targets the yachting industry. The application process for .yachts involved passing various requirements set by ICANN and receiving a Registry Agreement from the organization.
There were some concerns raised during the application process for .yachts regarding its potential impact on competition. The Generic Names Supporting Organization's Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) issued a warning to ICANN, recommending that the application be denied due to the applicant's attempt to secure exclusive access to a common generic string related to a broad market sector. However, despite this recommendation, .yachts was still delegated to the Root Zone. There are currently 499 registrations for .yachts domains with 130 of these being parked. There are no known restrictions on owning or registering a .yachts domain at this time.
